Pink Chalcedony Bulkhead Light Necklace
Pink Chalcedony Bulkhead Light Necklace
This necklace is handcrafted in sterling in the shape of a nautical bulkhead light or emergency cage light. It features a piece of natural pink chalcedony from Texas Springs, Nevada that I cut and polished in-studio.
Natural pink chalcedony is a very rare occurrence. This piece came from a limb cast, which is a piece of tree limb that petrified over time and was replaced with pink chalcedony. Mineral replacement is a naturally occurring process that often involves chalcedony, although rarely gem quality pink such as this.
The chalcedony is prong set in reverse so that the belly of the gemstone follows the curvature of the light cage. The pendant can be displayed on either side. This pendant tends to turn as it is being worn due to its extra-high dome shape.
